Chaeris:

a flute-player and harper at Athens, who seems to have been more fond of hearing himself play than other people were of hearing him. He is ridiculed by Aristophanes. (Ach. 16, 831, Pax, 916, Av. 858.) From the Scholiast on the two passages last referred to we learn, that he was attacked also by Pherecrates in the Agrioi (Plat. Protag. p. 327) and,—for there seems no reason to suppose this a different person, —by Cratinus in the Nemesis.

----

a very ancient poet of Corcyra, mentioned by Demetrius of Phalerus (ap. Tzetz. Prolegom. ad Lycophr. ; see Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vi. p. 361.)

----

A grammarian (father of Apollonius ), who is quoted several times in the Scholia on Homer, Pindar, and Aristophanes. He was probably contemporary with Diodorus of Tarsus. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec, i. p. 508, ii. pp. 84, 396, iv. pp. 275, 380, vi. p. 361.)
